ater and when cold cut it into 1 inch pieces; put the

908. +Oyster Salad.+-- To make a salad for 6 persons take 2 dozen
large oysters, put them with their liquor over the fire and let them
boil 1 minute, but no longer; take them out with a skimmer and lay
in a dish; when cold squeeze over the juice of 2 lemons and place
the dish on ice for 1 hour; shortly before serving put the oysters
into a salad dish, lay some young lettuce leaves between them and
pour over Mayonaise No. 1; lay young lettuce leaves in a circle
around the dish, put some hard boiled eggs cut into slices between
the lettuce and serve at once. Another way is to mix the oysters
with finely cut white celery, dress them with the same mayonaise and
ornament the salad with the tops of young celery; hard boiled
chopped eggs may also be sprinkled over with 1 spoonful capers.

909. +Oyster and Chicken Salad.+-- Remove the skin and bones from 1
cold, roasted chicken and cut the meat into pieces 1 inch in size;
put it into a dish, sprinkle over a little salt, the juice of 2
lemons and pour over a few spoonfuls fine salad oil; then place the
dish on ice; in the meantime scald 1-1/2 dozen large oysters in their
own liquor, take them out and put the oysters in a dish with some
cracked ice; have prepared 2 quarts sour jelly (aspic) and pour a
few spoonfuls of it onto a large, shallow tin pan; when firm trim
the oysters so that there is nothing left but the eye; lay them over
the jelly (not too close together), pour over a little more cold
jelly and when firm pour over sufficient cold jelly to entirely
cover the oysters; let it stand in a cool place till firm; 10
minutes before serving wipe the chicken meat dry with a napkin; pour
some fine mayonaise into a salad dish, lay over a layer of the
chicken meat and cover with mayonaise; continue in this way till all
is used; cover the whole with mayonaise in such a way that none of
the chicken is seen; then lay a border of cresses around it; cut the
oysters into rounds with a fluted cutter a little larger than the
oysters, lay them on the cresses and serve. Lettuce may be used
instead of cresses.

910. +Tomato Jelly.+-- Stew for 1/2 hour 1 can tomatoes with 1
